Each of the walls has upper edges and lower edges and with side edges therebetween. A rectangular bottom wall with side edges is coupled to the lower edges of the front and rear and side walls with an open top thereabove. All the walls are formed of a rigid material but with a slot in the front wall and an aperture in the bottom wall. The side walls have outwardly extending projections. A lid is formed with a top wall and linear front and rear and side edges and with trapezoidal side walls extending downwardly at an angle therefrom. The lid has a rectangular shoulder on its interior surface located at an intermediate extent of its side walls and with downwardly extending gripping fingers adjacent to the lower edges thereof. The lid is formed of a material with limited resilience.
